Classroom Management

*In order for students to be able to jump on the bus that will take them on a journey of learning and development, they must be provided with a safe and caring environment. I believe that in order for students to open up and flourish they must feel respected and valued. A teacher must show the students that he or she sees their potential and is willing to listen to and learn from each of them. This creates an atmosphere where students feel like they are a valuable member of the class team. *In addition, throughout my journey in the teaching field, I have learned that students strive in an organized environment in which there are clear boundaries, rules and plans. The teacher must communicate the rules and requirements early and clearly, implement classroom routines and systems that fit the needs of each student and involve them in the smooth running of the classroom, in order to create a class team mentality.

* Give students choices that allow them to reflect on their behaviour.

*As well as this, we must create a classroom environment in which students are engaged and excited to learn.It is my opinion that if students are introduced to new and exciting concepts and material that allow them to inquire, think critically, experiement and participate in open discussions and self-reflection, less management problems will arise.*This diagram provides key points that will guide my teaching, in order to provide the appropriate management and classroom environment for my students. In doing so, this will allow my students to flourish and reach their utmost potential.
